Hey bet you didn’t realize how awesome this upcoming sports weekend is. Fear not! We have you covered ranked on every event, starting with the worst:

The Belmont Stakes: We had a chance at a Triple Crown but in case you didn’t hear yet, I’ll Have Another was forced into retirement this afternoon with a bum leg. By all accounts this was one of the shadiest runs by a horse ever so this really isn’t a loss for sports fans.

Stanley Cup Finals, Game Five: The Kings are undefeated on the road during the playoffs and we don’t expect that to change. Los Angeles will bring home the greatest trophy in all of sports for the first time in franchise history. We really feel bad for hockey. A great start to the playoffs was sabotaged by a lack of superstars in the later rounds as well as the NBA’s success.

NCAA Baseball Super Regionals: We’re a bit biased, admittedly, being graduates from TCU and all. There’s a great rematch though between TCU and number two overall seed UCLA. It stems from their battle two years ago in the semifinal of the College World Series. While lacking any “star” the Frogs have a deep pitching staff to go with a suddenly sizzling lineup whose bats woke up after an opening loss to Ole Miss in the first game of the College Station regional. Since then the Frogs have rattled off 50 runs in five games.

Prometheus Opening: Indulge your inner sci-fi nerd.

French Open Final Featuring Djokovic/Nadal: This match is a BIG DEAL based on everything that’s happened in the last 12 months and speaks to what a great weekend it is that it’s only number three on this list. Last year Federer upset the Djokster in the semis so we were robbed of a clay court meeting between him and Nadal which sucked because Djokovic so thoroughly dominated the rest of the calendar. This will be the most fascinating meeting of their recent rivalry, given that it is by far Nadal’s best surface. If ever Nadal was going to end Djokovic’s astonishing run, it will happen in the French. Also: if the epic Australian Open final was any indication, this is going to be a very special match. A must-watch for any true sports fan.

Euro 2012 Opening Weekend: This by rights should be number one on the list. It’s by far the best international soccer competition, World Cup included. The talent in Europe is at an all-time high right now and there will be no shortage of great games, most especially from the the group of death that features four teams in the top ten of the world rankings (Denmark, Portugal, Germany, and Netherlands). There are three must-watch games this weekend (Netherlands vs Denmark, German vs Portugal, and Spain vs Italy). The tournament is made more fascinating by the fact that should Spain win, they’ll go down as the best dynasty in any sport, having won consecutive European tournaments and the World Cup in a span of five years. The two favorites to knock them are off Germany and Netherlands. Your sleepers are France, Croatia, and Russia. Several of the teams feature recognizable stars as well if that’s what you’re looking for (England with Rooney, Sweden with Ibrahimovic, and Portugal with the best player in the world right now Cristiano Ronaldo). Our pick is the Netherlands to spoil Spain’s dream run.

NBA Eastern Conference Finals, Game Seven: It has to be pretty big circumstances to unseat a major soccer event like the Euros, but that’s exactly what’s at stake in this game seven. The future of the NBA for the next five years very well may be decided, what with the rumors of a potential Heat breakup if they don’t advance. We’re looking to LeBron to repeat his game six masterpiece and for the Heat to move on to face an exciting OKC team that has no care in the world who they face. It also has potential ramifications on the Boston side as well. Could a devastating loss spell the end of the big three era sending either KG or Ray Allen into retirement? Would Doc Rivers walk away from the team in order to spend more time with his family? There are lots of “what if” questions that will be resolved based on the result of this game. It will affect the sports world in a big way during the next 12 months and is the can’t-miss sporting event of the weekend.

I was tempted to say this was the first year the NHL beat the NBA in post season advertising but then that Spurs commercial with the Mobb Deep instrumental was released and the NBA hung onto the crown yet again.
